The surgery was first discussed publicly during a news conference last week.

"After my initial surgery to replace my aortic root 10 years ago, I knew that this was something that would need to be done at some point," Hoiberg said. "My valve has severe regurgitation and the time has come to get it replaced. I am hopeful that this will be my last surgery and I’m looking forward to getting this behind me."

At the news conference, Hoiberg talked about his health leading up to the decision to have the procedure done. He said he stopped wearing ties with his suits because he felt light-headed when his blood flow was restricted in his neck.

The university said Hoiberg recently finished his fifth season as Iowa State's head coach.

He has guided the Cyclones to a school-record four consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances and back-to-back Big 12 Championship titles. Hoiberg owns a 115-56 career record.
